Two lives, one war

Descendants to honor heritage at event

Just a few examples of letters from home written to Lt. Alfred "Pat" Carrigan of Wichita Falls in 1918 while he fought and died in France in World War I.

In the early light of Memorial Day, scores of people will gather at the final resting place of World War I hero Alfred Holt "Pat" Carrigan Jr. Remembering the sacrifice of all veterans buried in Riverside Cemetery, it will be a special moment for two families.
